"Mica? MICA?!" Mika awoke from his small nap to Yasmine and Paloma shouting his name and searching all over for him. "Oh! there you are!" Paloma Smiled. "The votes have been counted an the Winner is about to be announced, This is like Eurovision!" Paloma bounced about. Mika let out a small smile, Despite everything his Teacher had said, he couldn't help but to be happy when he saw his sisters."C'mon, we need to stand behind the curtain in case you win!"


"OK,OK I'm coming,Whats the prize if I win anyway?" Mika asked his sisters.


"Did you sleep through the announcement? The winner represents the school in the London Schools Variety performance In 2 days at The Royal Albert Hall!" Yasmine beamed ear to ear. She held out a hand to her brother and she and Paloma dragged him to the area just off the stage. His teacher, the other classes teachers and the other kids in the talent show stood excitedly behind the curtains waiting for the Head teacher to announce the votes.


"Penniman, If you win, you are to perform Angry, Is that clear? Otherwise all the popular children will laugh at you, Is that clear?" Mika's teacher smirked.She still hoped he would perform that awful song and she could prove a point that Mika was a nobody.

"Could I perform a song from a musical, I promise its similar to angry." Mika smiled back to his teacher. If She wanted him to get the popular kids attention he had a Popular song to sing to them. "Yasmine, Paloma You're ok on Piano, aren't you?" Mika turned to his Paloma, "Can I borrow you're notepad for a second" Mika began scribbling on the notepad and gave the sheet back to Paloma."When I go back out on stage, You two play this." 


"Mica, this isnt sheet music, Just notes, G, Bb, Eb, G? I haven't played a piano like this in a while but I'll give it a try."  Paloma scratched her head. 

"After 30 years, still cant write sheet music" Mika huffed to himself. His sisters looked at each other confused, 30 years? As the crowd started drum rolling Mika straightened his bow-tie  and a smile stretched across his face.

"In third Place, Jules and Anthoine performing Hot Cross Buns on their Recorders,In second place Kimi-Matias and Nicolas H 'Singing Let It Be' And in first Place after an amazingly energetic performance, MICA!" The head teacher shouted out to the crowd as the place erupted with cheering.

Mika came rushing out onto the stage before his teacher could stop him. "Thank you for voting for me to win, this is  incredible, I'm not the most liked at this school especially by My teacher and some kids my age but I'd like to dedicate my victory song to all those who will haunt my dreams for the next few decades! Paloma and Yasmine, HIT IT!" The two began playing as mika hopped down from the stage and began dancing and singing in the crowd. He breifly looked back at his teacher her face was bright red, Clearly she didnt like Popular song.


Mika let out a mischievous smile, If this was a dream, it was time to cause a bit of chaos and he was getting to the perfect part of the song.

"You tryin' to make me feel bad with the shit you do

It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh the joke's on you
And everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking

How come you look so cool?"

Mika sang the lyrics staring into his teacher's face.


"GIRLS STOP PLAYING, MRS PENNIMAN, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HOME THIS INSTANT!" The Head teacher ran up behind Mika and snatched the microphone.

Mikas mum Grabbed his wrist and marched him out the school with Yasmine, Paloma, Fortune and Zuelika all following close behind, her face had a look of anger and embarrassment on it and she was silent the entire walk home.


"To your room, I will discipline you later, right now I have to ring up the school and sort out your mess." His mother shouted as soon as she got home.
